Answer 1

Answer: C. Ultimately, the state's Reconstruction government was unable to protect African Americans from the violence of discriminatory groups.

Explanation: During the period of Reconstruction in South Carolina, which followed the American Civil War, efforts were made to establish equal rights and protections for African Americans. However, Reconstruction proved to be a failure in preventing the rise of discriminatory groups and ensuring the safety and rights of African Americans.

Discriminatory groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, emerged during this time and sought to undermine the progress made during Reconstruction. These groups used violence, intimidation, and other forms of discrimination to suppress and oppress African Americans.

Despite the efforts of the Reconstruction government, which included implementing policies such as the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship and equal protection under the law, discriminatory groups were able to target and harm African Americans with impunity.

The failure of the state's Reconstruction government to effectively protect African Americans from the violence and discrimination of these groups allowed them to continue their activities unchecked. This failure had significant consequences for the civil rights and equality of African Americans in South Carolina and throughout the United States.
